EnGenius ENS500-AC overview

1Description

Supporting the 802.11ac Wave 2 Wi-Fi standard, the ENS500-AC EnTurbo Advanced Wave 2 11ac 5 GHz Wireless Outdoor Bridge from EnGenius is designed to offer enhanced wireless data transfer rates up to 30% faster than offered by 802.11ac Wave 1. This network bridge is easy to install, as it comes with pole-mounting brackets and a wall-mount screw set making it easy to place it virtually anywhere.

This EnGenius network bridge also supports 24V proprietary PoE connectivity, eliminating the need for a standalone power source and further simplifying the installation process. In addition to support for the 802.11ac Wave 2 Wi-Fi standard, this bridge operates on the 5 GHz frequency offering enhanced wireless connectivity with less congestion when compared to the slower 2.4 GHz frequency.

The ENS500-AC features an IP55-rated waterproof enclosure, making it safe to install outdoors in the elements. Install it on the side of buildings for long-range point-to-point connections, eliminating the hassle of installing wired connections. Additionally, this EnGenius network bridge can be configured as an access point, client bridge, or set to WDS mode to suit the needs of nearly any network configuration.

This EnGenius bridge comes with a variety of management utilities to simplify the process of administering your network. With the included ezMaster Software suite, you can take advantage of centralized management functionality including the ability to configure, manage, and monitor your network.

Outdoor Access Points

Provide broad-reaching, fast 11ac Wave 2 access to users in a variety of settings. EnTurbo outdoor APs are flexible and small enough for use in either indoor or outdoor environments. Achieve high-powered, long-range connections with integrated or detachable antenna options.

Outdoor Long-Range Bridges

Extend the wireless network in locations where cabling is not possible or practical, while eliminating the expense of extended cable runs. Connect a secondary device such as an IP surveillance camera or access point for greater deployment flexibility. Deliver precise short and long-range point-to-point links in settings such as:
• Between Buildings
• Across Large Campuses & Stadiums
• Over Vast Acreage: Parks, Golf Courses, Ranches
• City Blocks, Parking Lots & Marinas
• In Sizeable Indoor Structures: Distribution Centers & Arenas

PoE Supports Flexible Power Options

Connect and power EnTurbo outdoor APs and bridges via their dual PoE Gigabit ports and included PoE adapter for placement in locations where power outlets are unavailable such as on roofs, poles or other remote areas.

EnTurbo Outdoor APs and Bridges are designed to perform in harsh conditions and feature ruggedized IP55-rated enclosures. Ensure your network operates in extreme outdoor climates and indoor industrial environments where temperature is a factor. EnTurbo is protected from prolonged exposure to sunlight, cold, frost, snow, rain, hail, heat and humidity.

Network Management

The EnTurbo outdoor APs and bridges can operate as standalone devices or as part of a scalable network management solution. Manage EnTurbo APs and bridges while in AP mode via Neutron Switches or remotely with ezMaster and expand easily as your network needs grow.

Manage Up to 50 EnTurbo APs with EnGenius Managed Switches

Any EnGenius Gigabit managed switch can also manage up to 50 EnTurbo APs or bridges when in AP mode. Through the switch, you can access all connected EnGenius devices operating in AP mode, as well as a full array of wireless and Layer 2 management tools. Choose between PoE+ and non-PoE switch models with flexible deployment and management options and no AP license or subscription fees.
